Smoking and pregnancy: Time to implement evidence-based solutions

Abstract
Helping pregnant women quit smoking during pregnancy is one of the few proven interventions for reducing the risk of low birth weight, pre-term labor, spontaneous abortion and perinatal death. While it is argued that other aspects of antenatal care limit the time available for quit smoking advice, an evidence-based approach would have to conclude that brief smoking cessation advice and provision of quit smoking brochures be adopted as a priority for routine care on grounds of cost-effectiveness and cost benefit.
